Give your new starter a head start
Introduction
If you have ever had to hire new staff you know how much time and money it can take to find the right person for the job. This is only part of the process. Once you have found that right person you want them to stay for the long-term and not up and leave after a few months.
The onboarding experience for a new starter is the most crucial opportunity for setting expectations on how their experience will be with you. It not only bridges the gap between the experience of the candidate and the employee, it also acts as a catalyst for employee satisfaction, engagement and retention.
With our Quick Start onboarding program, you can start to build your very own customised onboarding program so you can provide stability and confidence for the people in your growing team. You can then use your new system again and again to multiply workplace engagement and productivity across your entire team.
How It Works
The Quick Start onboarding program goes through five phases from the weeks leading up to your new starters first day, through to their first-year anniversary. It is designed to take you through the four key pillars of your new onboarding system including:
- Culture,
- Outcomes,
- Administration,
- Teams.
Throughout each of the five phases you will be provided key items that make sure to address each of these four key pillars for a successful onboarding program.
What You Will Need To Do
The Quick Start onboarding program is built around the new starter onboarding experience and not only includes areas of compliance but the tools and resources you need for a seamless transition to facilitate high levels of engagement, even before their first day.
As you work through each phase of the program, you’ll be building the systems and processes you need to set them up for success. The phases laid out for you will create an environment primed for engagement, productivity and lasting loyalty.

As you make your way through this exciting journey, we are delighted to offer help and support along the way. Throughout the program we have provided ways for you to get in touch with us with any questions or feedback.
“I would have liked to have been the employee for the company who used these processes. Unfortunately, I have seen people in other companies leave as early as their first day! It makes commercial sense to hire slowly and to retain good staff who go on to become a valuable part of the team. I also love the fast facts as a reminder of why these processes are so important. The program engages you and your team fully throughout the process.”
